Is this the best you can get for an original cooper s?
Also is this the correct colour or nearest available for a November 64 almond green car?
Many thanks

Take a look at this topic.
I used BAS International on my 1966 S Almond Green.

Veltone came in in 1966, a 1964 car would have had a wool twist carpet, not a Veltone one.

Re: Somerford veltone carpet
The early almond green Coopers up to Nov'65 had a light grey wool type carpet. The best match I could find using old photo's of original cars and some small sections left in my car was BAS C120 dove grey, luckily BAS is not far from me so I was able to compare the colours and avoid the postage! To do the interior I bought a three metre length which comes in a width of 1070mm, it's very tight to cut all the pieces out without making mistakes. Cost was £160 back in April '24.

Re: Somerford veltone carpet
Just to confirm. I still have an old grey carpet in fairly poor condition but shared the crossmember sides with Bob1071 as they were the best bits, and his BAS carpet is a very close match.
